Graduated !!!!

[beforefifty]

This morning at 6am I ran my graduation run in beautiful sunshine. It has been an amazing journey full of joyful runs and a few not quite so joyful runs that I just got through . Thank you to everyone on this forum for their support, humour and jois de vivre.

Im hoping to do a 10k in May , serious training starts December , I have downloaded a plan from My Ascics, it is very good , so maybe you could have a look at that if its something you might like to try

Anyway , that's for the future , in the meantime , enjoy your Graduation Day , oh and don't forget to ask for your badge ! xxx

Thank you. I can't stop smiling to be honest. I think I might have to treat myself to a new running top to celebrate!

[c25k_novice]

Well done! What an achievement! Enjoy the runs to come!

[beforefifty Graduate]

Thank you, I am so thankful for the encouragement here

[Vixchile Graduate]

Congratulations for graduating. It's a great feeling and you will smile all day. Do you have something planned for graduation?

[beforefifty Graduate in reply to Vixchile]

Thank you, It is a great feeling of achievement. I didn't want to make too much of it as my husband started at the same time but has suffered calf strain problems for a few weeks and has just restarted. He is on w2 and I didn't want to go on about graduating under the circumstances. He however has been a complete star and we are having a celebration BBQ on the beach and he has surprisedme with a garmin 10 as a graduation present

[Ullyrunner Graduate]
